Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed terrace on the living conditions of nearby occupiers with regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The modest scale and careful siting of the dormer and roof terrace, combined with their visual integration through materials and positioning, would preserve the character and appearance of the area whilst the terrace's recessed location and orientation would not cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions.
